The key is: h=hammer-on

The intro and main riff:
| G | | | | |
| D | | | | 5 |
| A | 5h7 7 7 7 | 5h7 7 7 7 | 5h7 7 7 7 | 5h7 7 |
| E | | | | 5h7 |
...done in the verses as well.
Then, there's the bridge; it's easiest to listen to the recording for timing.
| G | | | | | |
| D | | | | 0... | 0 |
| A | | 1... | 1... | | |
| E | 3... 1 | | | | |
"Now..." "round..." "You never.." "...ground."
| G | | | | |
| D | 0... | | | |
| A | | 0...... | 0... | 0... 2 |
| E | | | | |
"Make me...small, wish I was...tall"
Then right back to the verse, then chorus:
| G | | | | |
| D | | 3 | 0... | 0... |
| A | 0... | | 0 | 2... 0... |
| E | | | | |
"I'm gonna bring you... my size." "One of...gonna make ya fall."
"I'm gonna bring you... my size,"
"Smash your head...against the wall!
Continue with the necessary riffs (verse, bridge, chorus).
Improvise as you please. At the end, amid much crashy noise and such, there's a
"Boris-the-Spider"
type run--
...and there you have it. Enjoy! Apologies for my excessive use of "then."
